Life can move pretty fast – how do you slow down when things get chaotic?
I always bring myself inward. I usually go on a walk or I take a bath and I journal.
Tell us about the song/performance featured in the Burn Slow Campaign. What does it mean to you?
The song I performed is an original song called "Please Don't Talk To Me," which I feel is perfect for the Zig-Zag campaign because this song is really about celebrating your alone time and doing the things you love to make you feel better about yourself. I feel this song is really an anthem for anyone who's going through anything and needs to take some time to themselves and get their life together.
Dream blunt rotation - who’s in it?
Questlove, Dave Chappelle, Amy Winehouse, Maya Angelou. So many people.
If you could light up with one Zig-Zag product for the rest of your life, what are you picking and why?
I'm picking the mini rose cones because they're bold, feminine, and sensual, which is basically the essence of me.
Kovey Coles
Artist Spotlight
A multi-instrumentalist and songwriter with a love for originality, Kovey Coles creates lush guitar-driven alternative soul. In the vein of other left-of-center creatives like Childish Gambino, Toro Y Moi, Frank Ocean, and BROCKHAMPTON, his brooding singing and conscious raps are inspired by wide reaching influences from jazz and electronic to funk and neo-soul.
Life can move pretty fast – how do you slow down when things get chaotic?
When I need to slow down, I grab my guitar and create my own soundscape

Malcolm, Martin, Mamdani
Tell us about the song/performance featured in the Burn Slow Campaign. What does it mean to you?
This song is called Time to Get Big, and it’s one of my earliest favorite tracks, from a time when I was blending my love for spoken word with jazz guitar. It’s a chill, motivational message for anyone who is hungry for the ascent.
